Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas
So I read this short story today while on my breaks at work. This novella accompanies the series written by Micheal Scott called The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. If you have read the series read this novella. It's very good and gives you more information of the immortal Billy the Kid and the vampire Scathach the Shadow. So far there a 5 books a new one is coming out this year and 2 novellas.

Corsets & Clockwork: 13 Steampunk Romances Review
I just finished reading this book and I give it a 3/5 rating. I found some of the stories boring and some not really about Steampunk at all. Most of the stories were by quite popular authors and some I had to look up. I really liked: Rude Machanicals- Lesley Livingston, The Cannibal Fiend of Rotherhithe- Frewin Jones, Deadwood- Michael Scott, The Airship Gemini- Jacyln Dolamore. The others were okay.
